The Gateway Restaurant
John Hope Gateway Centre, Royal Botanic Garden, Arboretum Place,
Edinburgh,

Although lacking the panoramic views of its sister venue, the Terrace Café, the restaurant in the Botanics’ gleaming new John Hope Gateway enjoys a pleasant outlook over the Biodiversity Garden, especially from the lovely al fresco tables on its…
Ocean Kitchen Bar & Grill
Ocean Terminal, Ocean Drive,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JJ
A shopping mall wouldn’t be everyone’s choice of an ideal dining experience, and slap bang in the middle of the main food court, Ocean Kitchen Bar & Grill isn’t the most atmospheric dining experience. However, if you’re lucky enough to get a seat by…
Sky Bar & Grill
Ocean Terminal, Victoria Dock,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JJ
Shopping malls and exquisite dining experiences don't immediately spring to mind as easy bedfellows. But this hasn't prevented the opening of an ambitious venture on the top floor of Edinburgh's Ocean Terminal. Sky Bar and Grill is a modern diner with…
Good Seed Bistro
101/102 Dalry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2DW
With terracotta flagstones, dark red walls and dim lighting there’s a definite Mediterranean feel to the surroundings at Good Seed, in keeping with the food. It’s one of a clutch of good restaurants now established in an area that was long…
Channings Restaurant
12–16 South Learmonth Gardens, Comely Bank,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1EZ
Hotel dining rooms doubling as public restaurants face a challenge in being dual-purpose. The terraced basement of Channings doesn’t quite make the transition from residents’ space to dedicated dining, but, on the other hand, has an array and…
India Today
176 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4PU
Now owned and run by its former chef and his wife, India Today gives you the chance to take a culinary tour of India with a single phone call. Choosing typical dishes from each region of the country, the menu is bewilderingly large, but, thankfully…
Metro West End Brasserie
Apex European Hotel, 90 Haymarket Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5LQ
Smart contemporary décor and the west end location of Metro Brasserie make it an obvious destination for business professionals and tourists alike, just a five-minute walk from Haymarket train station. The same menu applies for lunch and dinner, but…
The Canny Man's
239 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4QU
With a colourful history and formidable reputation, the Canny Man remains a truly unique institution – how many pubs do you know that sell Salmanazars (nine-litre bottles) of champagne? Service from impeccably dressed staff is frequently charming but…
The Zulu Lounge
366 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4QN
The small, stripy frontage may be striking but it still hides quite how much is on offer within this South African café. There are dozens of options available among both food and drink yet somehow quality is never compromised. Muffins and scones are…
Dalriada
77 Promenade, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2EL
Situated in an imposing building at the Joppa end of the Portobello Promenade, Dalriada is a fantastic bar-cum-café that's just perfect for an afternoon coffee and cake while you watch the waves roll in, or an evening drink as the sun sets over the…
Connect Café
153–155 Comely Bank Road,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1BQ

Bennets of Morningside
1 Maxwell Street,
Edinburgh,
EH10 5FT
Not to be confused with the establishment of the same name located on Leven Street, this Bennets Bar is to be found on Maxwell Street in Morningside. With the same owners as The Cumberland Bar, Bennets is another very traditional pub specialising in…
Loch Fyne Restaurant
25 Pier Place, Newhaven Harbour,
Edinburgh,
EH6 4LP
While not quite the original, Edinburgh's branch of the Loch Fyne Restaurant does enjoy its own prime location at Newhaven Harbour with pleasant views over the Forth. The building may have the depth and height of an air hanger, but the floor-to-ceiling…
Prezzo
25 Pier Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 4LP
Prezzo in Edinburgh's Newhaven Harbour is one of two sojourns north of the border for an ambitious London-based chain that aims to offer value-for-money Italian food in stylish contemporary surrounds. An aim which has, to some extent, been accomplished…
Porto & Fi
47 Newhaven Main Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 4NQ
Open views across the Firth of Forth make this bright, modern café-bistro the ideal place to admire Edinburgh’s stunning seascape. Indeed, a love of this setting is evident in everything from the artist paintings on display to the owners' sourcing of…
Port of Siam
3 Pier Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 4LP
Given its position on Newhaven Waterfront and the proximity of Edinburgh fish market, it’s no surprise that Port of Siam’s menu has a distinct focus on fresh seafood. What does surprise however is the exciting fusion of Scottish and Thai ingredients. A…
The Skerries
Dunstane House Hotel, 4 West Coates,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5JQ
A recent refurbishment has given the Skerries a fresh lease of life. It’s all very Downton Abbey with ornate gilt mirrors, chandeliers, and rich fabrics. An impressive new bar and lounge has added to this elegant space, boasting a fine wall of malts.
The Far Pavilions
10–12 Craigleith Road, Comely Bank,
Edinburgh,
EH4 2DP
There is something reassuring about a long-established restaurant located in the middle of a leafy suburb. Primarily dependent on locals for trade, such places can't afford not to have their main customer base on side. Craigleith's comfortable Far…
Taste Good
67-71 Slateford Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 1PR
Taste Good doesn't exactly fit the stereotype of a Chinese restaurant. At street level it is a busy takeaway catering for locals in the know, while in the basement there's a bright, airy dining space with modern décor and pleasant background music. The…
The Kilted Pig
101b Colinton Road,
Edinburgh,
EH14 1AL
Formerly the Park Bar, this Southside pub’s signature dish is sausages wrapped in bacon. Diners are given two 'kilted pigs' as soon as they are seated in the intimate dining area, which has comfortable chocolate-coloured seats and soft lighting. Though…
Oscars Bar and Grill
1–2 Moat Place,
Edinburgh,
EH14 1NY
Considering its off-centre, primarily residential location, Oscars is a surprising find. Where perhaps a ‘Queen Vic’ style local is expected, the reality is more of a gastro-experience, with ambient lighting, comfortable seating and impressive…
The Suburban Pantry
12 Hillhouse Road, Blackhall,
Edinburgh,
EH4 2AG
Take one modest space in a run of suburban shops. Add a chef who cooks fresh food with imagination and care. Stir in a partner with an eye for interior design, and who waits tables with a smile. Result: full house for dinner Thursday to Saturday and a…
Bombay Feast
32 Hillhouse Road, Blackhall,
Edinburgh,
EH4 2AG
Bombay Feast provides a wide-ranging menu of Indian standards that those familiar with the cuisine would expect to see, as well as some more unusual options for those who wish to experiment. Choices such as lamb sarisha (in a mustard sauce), chicken…
The Blue Goose Country Pub
27 Lanark Road,
Edinburgh,
EH14 1TG
Now split into a restaurant and bar, which serves a handful of lighter meals and tapas throughout the day, the Blue Goose is a vast improvement from its previous incarnation as the Dell Inn. However, the style (country pub meets colonial) doesn’t quite…
Café North
North Edinburgh Arts Centre, 15a Pennywell Court, Muirhouse,
Edinburgh,
EH4 4TZ
If Café North was in the centre of Edinburgh, you would be fighting to get a table. So perfect is it for family lunches, every toddler in town would treat it like a second home. In reality, North Edinburgh Arts Centre (NEAC) is a little off the beaten…
Sampans
Holiday Inn Hotel, 132 Corstorphine Road,
Edinburgh,
EH12 6UA
Situated amidst the business-like functionality of the Holiday Inn, Sampans makes a fair stab at transcending its bland surrounds. The smart restaurant area, set apart from the rest of the hotel, is full of tasteful Oriental touches such as…
Agenda
92/98 Corstorphine Road,
Edinburgh,
EH12 8AT
Glass-fronted and set back from St John's Road on the main Corstorphine drag, Agenda is a bar, restaurant and hotel. In the comfy bar area, which contains scattered leather sofas, you'll find a younger crowd drinking and listening to the latest tunes.
Itihaas
17–19 Eskbank Road, Dalkeith,
Edinburgh,
EH22 1HD
A corner position in Dalkeith’s town centre gives Itihaas lots of daylight from windows on two sides, enhancing the appeal of this pristine, owner-run establishment. Sepia-toned pictures add atmosphere, but ethnic style is soft-pedalled in favour of…
The Cramond Inn
30 Cramond Glebe Road, Cramond Village,
Edinburgh,
EH4 6NU
Wherever you travel around Britain, the sight of the village pub is generally a welcome one. It's no different in Cramond, even if the village is a suburb of Edinburgh and just 20 minutes' trundle along Ferry Road from the city centre. It's all there: a…

West Craigie Farm,
South Queensferry,
